04Before you hire

Accessory Dwelling Unit: questions we hear most

Should accessory dwelling unit pros be licensed?

Many states license trade work and contractors above a set job value. Ask for the license number, check it with your state board, and confirm insurance before work starts.

How many quotes should I get for accessory dwelling unit work?

Three quotes with the same written scope are usually enough to compare price, schedule, and how each pro communicates.

Do accessory dwelling unit services include a warranty?

Most pros warranty their labor and pass through the manufacturer warranty on materials. Ask for both in writing.

How long does a typical accessory dwelling unit job take?

Small repairs are often done in a day. Larger projects depend on permits, inspections, and material lead times, so ask for a written schedule.

What should I prepare before the first visit?

Photos of the area, the age of anything being replaced, your budget range, and the dates that do not work for you.

Need home builders work?
